You should be fine. The injectors will be easy providing the holes are clean and not carboned up. It may go good enough you can fit the turbo in there as well.
worth my time?

i did an injector a month ago just bc it was out of spec and only took me about 45 min so injectors im fine with its pulling the valve covers and all that other junk I dont like to do the studs
Head studs on factory gaskets, on an LLY? Ive been told by more than a few top notch guys to not even bother with the studs without putting in the newer style gaskets. Its not that the factory head bolts that stretch like a Ford, its the gasket design that gives out.
I went 60, 90, 125, 125, sit over night to stretch them(don't have to do that but I did), back off 50lbs then go back 125lbs and I called it good on my LB7.
just want to get a concensus on what you guys think would be better, studs on stock gaskets or just leave as is
If I were you i'd buy the LLY kit from Henry at COTNP with studs and run her till you see a sign that they finally let go, then tear her down and put the updated grade C gaskets, stud it, get the heads resurfaced and checked for cracks. I wouldn't tear it all down to put studs in with stock gaskets. Might as well do it right the first time :thumb:
Comes with everything you need. Just make sure u choose studs when ordering.
